The political risk taken by the prime minister to burn them early election scenarios it requires one thing: Speeding up government work. Maximos had recently given the impression that it is in the last turn before the polls with the ministers having their attention mainly in its regions. At the moment, in fact, when accuracy is galloping and the energy crisis threatens all of Europe. Kyriakos Mitsotakis decided to change this image with the interview he gave to SKAI. Priority is given to the legislative work on which the majority will focus in the next period. Within the week, the changes will be voted on in the universities, where the presence of Alexis Tsipras in the Parliament is expected to raise the thermometer.
Other bills are already in the works. Between them:
– The provision to give ownership to encroached properties with the payment of a consideration that will be equal to their objective value.
– Creation of a register in which daily, weekly and regional newspapers and websites will be registered under certain conditions. Otherwise they will not receive government advertising.
– Upgrading the EL.AS officer school. in university.
– Creating a framework for the development of 2 GW offshore wind farms by 2030.
And since the elections – barring unexpected developments – are eight months away, portfolio holders know very well that the restructuring is one of the “papers” that the prime minister has in his drawers. Whoever wants to remain in his ministry should focus on the legislative work and not “burn out in the warm-up” by doing a pre-election period. There is nothing worse, after all, than a minister who loses the position of responsibility he holds just before an election is called. Ministers were also asked to make their submissions on the 2023 targets as September’s TEF approaches.
The prime minister has not opened his papers on whether he intends to proceed with a cabinet reshuffle.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ tours throughout Greece and the inauguration of new works will continue through the summer.
